Reading: Hebrews 13:5, Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Wow! What a promise! These are the words I can count on. Being able to count on God is one thing… learning to count on the words of another person is altogether different. When your mind is filled with doubts and uncertainty in any relationship, you feel at the mercy of that person. We want to have someone in our life who we can count on. We want to be able to take him or her at his or her word. When we were kids we heard promises our friends made to us. We believed them. But, when they broke their promises we soon learned not to trust others. We learned to be cautious, to protect ourselves.
Because we are human, there are times when we don’t follow through on what we say. We attempt to, but we fail. Fortunately, there is one person we can count on to do what He says. God comes through with the promise He makes.
Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)
Surely I am with you always to the very end of the age (Matt. 28:20)
Whoever comes to me I will never drive away (John 6:37)
If you want to count on someone… you know to whom you can go.
Men, God is right there by your side today, whether you feel His presence or not.
Challenge: Thank God for His promise to never leave you; find ways, today, that you can make sure to return the favor; and be that friend today, and pass on what God is to you by letting someone know that you will not leave their side.
REVIEW
Were you able to accomplish the challenge today?
Even if it was part of it, how were you able to accomplish it and how did it impact your day?
